Bumpers on cars are not of much use in a collision. To see why, calculate the average force a bumper would have to exert if it brought a 1200-kg car

(a so-called compact model) to a rest in 15 cm when the car had an initial speed of 2.0 m/s (about 4.5 mph). (Bumpers are built with springs that compress to provide a stopping force without, hopefully, denting the metal.) A) 1.8 × 104 N B) 1.6 × 104 N C) 5.4 × 104 N D) 6.5 × 105 N E) 3.2 × 104 N
